Books by Robert D. Putnam, Shaylyn Romney Garrett

4. Robert D. Putnam, The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again .  A fact-rich, well-reasoned and indeed reasonable take on numerous American trends, most of them related to social solidarity.  A good book, provided you are not looking too hard for what the title and subtitle would seem to promise.
